Another NHL prospect is joining the Saint John Sea Dogs lineup after a trade earlier this week.
The Sea Dogs have acquired overage goaltender Zachary Emond in a trade with Rouyn-Noranda.
In return, the Huskies received a fourth-round pick in 2023 and a sixth-round pick in 2022.
Emond was selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NHL Draft by San Jose.
The Quebec native signed a standard entry-level contract with the team in May 2019.
Trevor Georgie, president and general manager of the Sea Dogs, said Emond is very experienced and will enhance the leadership in their dressing room.
“He has a winning pedigree, NHL camp experience and was part of a President Cup and Memorial Cup Championship team,” Georgie said in a news release.
“We place a high value on players who have won championships and his ability to offer Noah (Patenaude) and our players pearls of wisdom.”
In 116 career games in the QMJHL, Emond has 63 wins and a .908 save percentage.
Earlier this week, the Sea Dogs acquired Calgary Flames prospect Ryan Francis in a trade with the Cape Breton Eagles.
